The local hustler (2) on the Union has

nurse girls are the victims of an attack

Seeds That Gsrmlnate Quickly

The human system is a fruitful Sol, and
among seeds that germlnate most rapidly
in it are those of rheumatism and neu-
raIgia. A slight cold, brought on by sit
ting in a draught, wet feet or damp
clothes, will develope either of those
abominable painful maladies with un-
pleasant rspidity. The proper proven
tive of this agonizing vegetation is Hos
letters stomach bitters. medicine which
nulities tendency to either of the mala'
dies named, and soothes the aches which
they cause. Nor is it less effective as q
remedy for rheumatism than as its pre-
tentative, fact as amply attested as any
other relating to its curative properties
Mariners. miners, frontiersmen. ant
others, have ever found it faithful pres
ervative of health in unfavorable regions

Superstition prevails in all countries TO
greater or less extent, and coming down
10 native superstitions, their number is
simply endless. Among the most fondly
cherished of these are those which por~

proved true, it would certainly furnish q
very acceptable compensation to many of
the victims of this masculine adjournment,
Good luck is presaged by q whole array
of omens. To pick up four>ieaf clover,
find a horseshoe or pin are certain har-
bingers of good fortune. Just how to
pick up pin when you find it is matter
of some dispute. The Yankee, Thad
Stevens, who represented q Pennsylvania
Dutch constituency In congress till he
died in the harness, always maintained
that the pin must be picked up by the
point. The majority of authorities are
against the Vermont Pennsylvania
statesman, however, declaring that the
pin must be picked up by the head. To
put your sock or stocking on wrong side
out is lucky blunder. To fall up stairs
not only promises good luck to the owner
of the bruised shin or nose, but presages
wedding in the house within year. A
maiden who gets beaten invariably at
cards will win good husband, a far more
important winning to her. To assure a
bridal party good luck throw the shoe
from the left foot at them, but be careful
not to hit either of the newly Unmarried
couple If the shoe should hit either,
nothing will save the couple from speedy
disaster unless they propitiate the fates
by carrying piece of coal in their pock-
cts. Ii you put on something new on

yeedfui of Immediate Attention.
A number Of the alleys in Rock Island
are in an alarmingly frightful condition,
and unless some remedy is applied before
long the sanitary condition of the
CITY will suffer. In some parts OF the
CITY the alleys have been neglected for so
long that stencil arises from them con-
stantly which is certain, sooner or later,
to produce sickness, and of such nature
as may produce an epidemic in the city.
The deprivation of the services of q
health commissioner for the city BY May
or Blanding, an office which Rock Island
has become accustomed to, is very gen
orally felt, and there is every reason to
believe that at no distant day the health
of the city will demand the reestablish>
ment of the Office, despite the mayors
stubborn determination TO deprive the
city of this most necessary sanitary ad-
vantage.
